Venue: Autzen Stadium
Format: Walk-through
A few minutes of Thursday’s walk-through were spent on kickoff coverage, though it would be understandable if the Ducks determined their time could be better spent preparing for other facets of Saturday’s game with Washington State (3 p.m., Pac-12 Networks).
At Colorado last week, Oregon kickoff specialist Matt Wogan had seven touchbacks on eight attempts – the exception being a kick backed up 15 yards by penalty. Taking that one from the 20-yard line rather than the 35, Wogan blasted it 76 yards; the return was taken from the 4-yard line to the 24 – one yard shy of where it would have been spotted after another touchback.
